The Legend of the Condor Heroes: I became one of the Five Great Masters by drawing cards

Gu Ping'an was not in a hurry. He took a step forward, bowed, and had a gentle smile on his face and a sincere tone.

"Everyone, please calm down. My husband and I learned that the master of Lingjiu Palace is celebrating his birthday soon, so we've come all the way here with a small gift to celebrate. We mean absolutely no offense."

The leading woman frowned slightly upon hearing this, and looked him up and down, with suspicion in her eyes not concealed at all.

"How did you know the Palace Master's birthday? My Lingjiu Palace has always been secretive and has very little contact with the outside world. How could you know such a private matter? Do you have some hidden motive?"

Gu Ping'an's expression remained calm as he spoke frankly, "To be honest, we recently met a senior master who has a close relationship with your palace. This trip was also entrusted by him, and I have no ill intentions."

"That's easy to say, but who knows if it's true or not."

The woman's eyes were still alert, and she snorted lightly with a cold tone.

"When you meet the master, you'd better explain everything clearly, otherwise Miss Xiu will be ruthless!"

Fortunately, these days are indeed the birthday of Tianshan Tonglao. Although she has doubts in her heart, she dare not act rashly.

The two followed the maid who led the way up the mountain. After crossing the snow line, the cold wind was like a knife, blowing on their faces painfully. There were steep ice walls all around, and the sunlight stung their eyes.

They hurried along, climbing higher and higher. Suddenly the leading woman turned south and felt that it was getting warmer and warmer. It was not like the top of a snowy mountain at all.

Everyone came to the gate of a magnificent mansion. The mansion was so magnificent that it could even be called a palace.

The gate to the yard was closed. The woman in the lead walked forward and gently knocked on the doorknob.

After a moment, the door slowly opened and two stern-looking women appeared at the door.

The two women were both about eighteen or nineteen years old, and were exactly the same height and slender figure. There was no difference in appearance at all. They both had oval faces, eyes as bright as ink, and were beautiful and extraordinary. Each of them had a long sword hanging from her waist, looking heroic.

The only difference is their clothes. One is wearing light red and the other is wearing moon-white. Standing together, it is really pleasing to the eye.

"Greetings to the Second Envoy, Meilan!"

The woman who led them up the mountain bowed and saluted respectfully.

"Messengers, these two individuals have trespassed into the Lingjiu Palace, claiming to be here to celebrate the Palace Master's birthday. How do you plan to deal with them?"

Mei Jian's eyes flashed like lightning as he swept over Gu Ping'an and Mu Nianci and asked in a cold voice.

"Who are you? How do you know the master's birthday? If you tell me a lie, don't blame me, the Lingjiu Palace, for my ruthless actions."

Gu Ping'an was not at all flustered and bowed.

"Young lady, please don't be angry. We are here to celebrate your birthday just by chance. We are here because someone asked us to. We have something important to discuss with Tong Lao. We have no ill intentions."

Mei Jian and Lan Jian looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

This man spoke with a Central Plains accent and was obviously not from the Thirty-Six Caves or Seventy-Two Islands.

Lingjiu Palace has never been connected with the Central Plains, and few people know the name of "Tong Lao". It is really strange that she has come to visit for no apparent reason.

But the rules of Lingjiu Palace are very strict, and they dare not make decisions easily.

Lan Jian was a bit impulsive, he snorted coldly and said.

"The Lord is such a person, how can you see him whenever you want? What do you want? Tell me quickly!"

Gu Ping'an shook his head slightly and chuckled, "This matter is confidential and cannot be told to outsiders. Please inform Tong Lao."

Mei Jian frowned and thought to himself that this man and woman were of noble bearing and were far superior to those rough people in the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands.

Moreover, this person spoke calmly and his eyes were frank, so he didn't seem to be lying. Could it be that there was something really important?
"Just tell me your names and wait here. I'll go and inform the master." She hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't dare to make a rash decision.

"The name is not important. Miss, you only need to tell Tong Lao that the visitor is wearing a jeweled ring as a token of trust. If you still have doubts, you can mention the word 'Xiao Yao'."

Mei Jian nodded slightly, turned around and walked quickly into the door. Lan Jian stayed where he was, staring at the two of them vigilantly, as if he would take action immediately if they made the slightest movement.

Not long after, Mei Jian hurried back, his expression slightly solemn, but still vigilant.

"The Lord invites you two to come in."

Gu Ping'an and Mu Nianci followed Mei Jian and Lan Jian into the mansion and walked through several corridors. The surroundings were quiet and silent, with only the sound of people's footsteps echoing on the stone road.

After walking for a while, they came to a hall. The hall was built entirely of huge stones. The door was open, candles were flickering in the hall, and the tables and chairs were all exquisitely furnished, not inferior to the residences of princes and nobles.

"Master, the person has been brought here."

The two were led into the hall. Mei Jian bowed his head and saluted respectfully towards the host, then he and Lan Jian stood on the left and right respectively.

There were two other women beside the main seat, one dressed in light green and the other in goose yellow. They looked exactly like the two men and were actually twin quadruplets, a rare group in the world.

There was a man sitting quietly on the seat. He looked no more than four feet tall, and judging from his figure, he seemed to be eight or nine years old.

But when you look at her face more closely, you will see that her eyes are bright, her gaze is full of life, and she looks charming, which makes her even more charming.

With such appearance, if Li Qiushui had not suddenly plotted against her and made her stay young for the rest of her life, I am afraid Wuyazi might not have been able to get through this.

As soon as the two of them entered the room, the atmosphere in the room suddenly stagnated. The man in the main seat saw the seven-treasure ring on Mu Nianci's hand, his eyes flashed, and he waved gently.

"Come here, come here, let me take a look."

She had the body of a child but looked like a woman in her twenties. What was even more amazing was that when she spoke, her voice was hoarse and mature, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was an old woman in her seventies or eighties.

When Mu Nianci saw that Mei Jian and Lan Jian were extremely respectful to the strange girl, she guessed that she was the "Tien Shan Child-Fairy". Upon hearing that, she took two steps forward and prepared to salute.

Unexpectedly, the Tianshan Child-Fairy suddenly attacked. She flashed over and attacked as fast as lightning, grabbing her wrist.

Mu Nianci's expression was startled, but she remained calm despite being frightened. She raised her white hands lightly, took light steps, and retreated gracefully, twisting her body in an extremely elegant manner.

The grab just barely brushed her sleeve and missed. The four girls, Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, were startled and all drew their swords, ready to charge forward.

"Go back."

The Child-Fairy of Tianshan suddenly spoke, stepped back to her seat, and said to Mu Nianci.

"What a great Lingbo Weibu! You've practiced it well. I don't intend to kill you. I just want to see your ring."

Mu Nianci looked back at Gu Ping'an, and when she saw him nod, she stepped forward and raised her hand.

Tong Lao took her wrist, pulled her left hand in front of her eyes, and looked at it over and over for a long time.

Mu Nianci only felt her little hands trembling, and subconsciously looked up, only to see that her clear big eyes were filled with tears.

"It's all very well!"

Tianshan Tonglao's expression suddenly turned cold. She tightened her left hand and pulled it into her arms. Then she raised her right palm and slapped her hard on the cheek.

One moment he was about to cry, and the next moment he attacked fiercely. Such mood swings were beyond Mu Nianci's expectations. (End of this chapter)
